Extremes of Freedom Kilts: A Double Review

[Ian.MacAllan]

As I've said elsewhere, I really do not like pink on a man; but on a beautiful woman? Oh, boy, you are a lucky dog, Jamie!

Great kilts! Jamie, where did you get your beret?

[Macman]

Thanks for the pictures of your new kilts, you two. You both look great in them!

Great kilts! Jamie, where did you get your beret?

McFarkus,

I picked up at a local hat shop for a whopping $8 or $10. Most hat stores have them (though generally with the ladies hats) in stacks with multiple colors. They tend to have a looser weave (if I'm describing that right) and are thicker than the military style berets with the leather trim and ribbons in back. I think they are a nice (and reasonably priced)alternative to a balmoral bonnet. They give an outfit a less flashy look as a balmoral as well.

Cheers

I've been waiting for everyone to have a chance to read Panache and Star's review.

Guys, thank you for a wonderful photo shoot. You do our work proud. I'll make sure Erin sees these in the morning when she gets to the shop.

It was a great pleasure to work with Jamie and Star on these Kilts. We had quite a few Skype calls back and forth working out the pockets, Pleating, and details. It really makes a difference when the owner has a say and input to their Kilt.

So, to you both, again, thank you. Wear them for many years, in good health.

They look great!

You two are smokin' as usual. Congrats.

Best regards,

I'd like to see a close up of the kilt pin you have there, as I'm just nosey.

Glen,

Here is the snake pin



That my beloved Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess...

He's always complaining about me stealing his pirate kilt pin, well....he stole that snake kilt pin from me. It's just a simple gold (fake, of course) lapel pin that he took from my (limited) jewelry collection.

Ahem!

...gave to me!

It is a favorite because it was a gift! from my lovely wife!

However it was only temporarily on my new IoS Freedom Kilt.

Now I have had a lovely pin for the last 20 years which I dearly love but seldom have had occasion to wear. It always seemed like it would make a good kilt pin, but I wanted the right kilt/tartan to wear it on.

My IoS Freedom Kilt was the one. I popped off the simple light-weight straight pin back and epoxied three "tie tack" pin backs in its place.

I think it goes well with the tartan



I believe it is a Japanese crest or kamon.

Cheers

Jamie

Very nice pin, thanks for the close up.

Here is the snake pin

Well, would you look at that: A one-eyed kilt snake! I never thought I'd see one of those here.
